I can’t help but think about how unnecessary this movie was.
I find this movie so unnecessary that I’m forcing myself to write this review. To summarise this movie it is a highlight of all the moments from the first half of season one of Attack on Titan. Serving as a summary film. So all the animation and sound design is good, but it’s just a mega rushed version of the first half of season one.
The story of movie one summarises the entire first half of season one. As a result of cramping 13 episodes into two hours, the film is rushed. Viewers will see a important and amazing character moment only to be rushed into another important and amazing character moment. I can’t help but be annoyed at this. As a result, the film has really good story moments that have no emotional weight or any…

This is a recap of episodes 1-13, so the story is essentially the same as that. I watched the series a long time ago now, but having caught up with the manga and knowing what I know, I felt like a lot of the characters have distinct personalities that make a lot of sense for their future decisions, and I felt like this held up well against the original.
The art style, as always throughout this series, is simplistic at times, but in a way that that fact just makes it more unique and beautiful. The colouring and angles used are all amazing, the only issue being that during movements, some of the faces look a bit strange, and there doesn't seem to be a point where you can pause it when the characters are moving and it actually looks normal.
Everybody knows and loves the theme for Attack o…

To preface this review, I've already watched the first season of AoT in its entirety. I only watched this because I wanted to start watching seasons two and three, and I haven't watched this show since it came out; I needed a recap.
It cuts out a lot from the anime (just over three hours of content), but in order to have just a story recap, it's alright. The scrap the military training, the politics (which might be for the worse later on), and some side character arcs. In the show, you get to grow close to the side characters and see them grow. The only one of those characters that still undergoes an arc is Jean, though I'll concede that his was the biggest one of all the side characters.
My biggest issue with this (from a film standpoint) is the pacing. It definitely feels rushed, and i…

Story:
Having watched the whole anime before, I think that the story was told in an incomplete manner in the movie. For those who have never read the manga or watched the anime, the story might seem odd and underdeveloped at some parts. Too many scenes were taken from episode 1 (practically the whole thing), which could've been used to show the training part where Eren's comrades were introduced. One part near the end confused me because I totally forgot why that scene was happening and how the situation even began. As I said, some parts seem quite abrupt. However, the movie is a great way to get an overall idea of what SnK is about. Those who have never watched the anime and are interested after the movie should definitely watch the anime to get filled in on the little details and importa…

First of all, I'd like to point out that this is a 2 hour movie.. It simply can't include every scene from the first half of the show! Too bad some of them were left out, but they weren't really that important for the story if you think about it. Sure, they helpt with the character development, but if you've watched the show you know the charachters already. And even if you haven't seen the show, the movie presents the characters well enough for you to get a good graps of who they are.
What I'm trying to say is that I think they did a pretty good job with chosing which scenes to include and not. Not perfect but pretty good! The presentation of the survey corps was short and pretty irrelevant to include in this movie, since it was the only scene they appeared in. They could have saved it…

It was a decent recap but I felt kinda empty afterwards since it was missing a part that made me join the hype but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Story 4/10
You may be asking why I gave it this score. The reason is very simple they ended up cutting out very important scenes that gave the story depth and the scene that sold the legendary hype and bought the fans. The scene where the fan forgot for a moment that Jonah smoked his
way out of the whale (no matter how inconceivable) but rather busted his way out right after having the most epic revenge speech I have heard in ages.
Art 10/10
The reason I gave it such a great score was because the art pulled off something that can really destroy a show if not handle correctly. The artist not only sustained a unique style throughout any given scen…

Attack on Titan is the very popular manga nowadays. It inspired some anime adaptations: 26 episode long overrated TV series, OVAs and movies. The movie I am going to talk about is the recap of 1-13 episodes. Is it a nice recap that can be enjoyed as much, or almost, as the original adaptation?
No.
This movie should be watched only by fans in order to remember the story before watching the upcoming second season. Because creators had to put 13 episodes in one film, they didn't include important moments that are necessary to develop characters:
1) The movie DOESN'T show how the relationship between Eren and Jean was shaped during military training. Their conflict considering how to live and what to do in the world was shrinked to from-time-to-time quarrels.
2) The movie DOESN'T show a wel…
